Tires MICHELIN or Kumho

I have a set of Kumho A/T tires on my beater 4runner and tbh they’re not snow tires and they’ve still been fantastic in the snow. Don’t have the best ride quality, but I’ve thoroughly liked them for the last 35k miles.

I put good winter tires on it (Michelin X-Ice Snow EV) and I’ve not had an issue with RWD. Today was the first day I’ve driven it in pure winter conditions and it was a dream to drive.

I bought these when living in Western Colorado and they did great for last winter. I also had a great experience with them in the PNW/Western Oregon in a more rainy than snowy climate. They were about $1000 total and came with a reasonable warranty which I recommend for any AWD vehicle.

I do notice that they can be loud but I don't care. They also seem to decrease fuel efficiency but I am okay with that since I am starting with high efficiency in the first place.

recently replaced OEM falken on my 21 CE for some Pilot sports and smh.. idk why i waited so long. car feels so great driving. tires have great grip. corners takign with ease. and if acceleration is amazing.

Michelin Defender 2. I replaced all 4 just past 30,000 miles. Expensive, but high quality and rated to last 80,000 miles.

Ive used then for daily driving to work and driving to 10+ autocross and tracks days a year, I’ve been pretty competitive in cam-c with this tire and they still have 1 more year in them. I live in Utah so we get plenty of wet weather. My most competitive autocross events are the wet weather events.

Michelin X-Ice this go around . Have had Hakkas, blizzaks, and nexen over the years.

I found a great deal on PS4S's and figured I'd give them a try instead. Initial impressions are that they significantly enhance steering response and turn-in, with a tradeoff being the ride is definitely busier over small imperfections.

My MX doesn’t have foam in the replacement tires I got but I haven’t noticed a difference! In my original 19in continental on a SR+ Model 3 and went to Michelin and noticed a huge sound and range difference esp in my kWh usage.

1. Harsh ride- you feel every little bump. 2. Mediocre performance. 3. Pricey. I just swapped these tires out for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on my Beamer. Best investment I made so far this year. No regrets.
